I didn't come to a new service just to see it get taken over by the corporate beasts who ruined the internet in general, and I am sure as hell am not going to use an instance that doesn't care about its users.

I think the admin of this instance might have been paid off to federate with Threads, it being one of the most popular.

So, I am giving y'all 24 hours to defederate and if the Lemmy.world admins don't, I'm-a bounce and close down my subs behind me

That is all

I'll say it again...

Threads is a MASTODON-type app. Not Lemmy... Mastodon!

I truly don't understand people in the Lemmy-sphere getting their panties in a bunch over this.

@corroded
As you can see here I can also comment from Mostodon, the most mastodon-like app ;-) . Likewise, threads can participate in threadiverse once they federate. That's how federation works.

But it's literally the one time you've done so. Because it's probably a royal pain to make it happen.

I can technically eat soup with a fork. It won't be easy... or pretty. Much like I can force Mastodon to happen here on Lemmy.

I'd much rather use a spoon/app that was intended for the purpose I'm using it for.

@RxBrad
I can subscribe to a magazine from Mastodon. This is not too much pain.
But you are right, my mastodon account has another purpose. To **true** participate in threadiverse I use a kbin spoon.
But I think the threads users are more painless....

Replying from Mastodon, just for giggles. As far as I can tell, the feed for this /c is just a random stream of unthreaded comments, sorted by when they're posted, with no indication which post they're actually referring to.

I'm not even totally sure if you can even create a new post (and I don't want to spam the sub trying).

So, yeah.. it's possible. But by no means an ideal way to do Lemmy.
